Forests for climate: Peru’s progress and priorities towards 2030

Peru’s tropical forests are central to its climate commitments, contributing to both emissions reductions and climate resilience. This session will showcase Peru’s progress and priorities towards 2030, highlighting advances in forest conservation, Indigenous land tenure, REDD+, forest monitoring, ecosystem restoration and Integrated Fire Management. Through a dialogue involving Indigenous representatives, regional governments, national institutions and international partners, the session will explore how these complementary efforts are being translated into territorial action, what challenges remain and how stronger coordination and technical cooperation can accelerate results for forests and the people who depend on them.
